Melenzana sandwich is fantastic - though the menu is a little on the pricey side for what you get.

Chicken soup is delicious.

It's a small, wonderful, delicious delicatessen. It's all carryout so the atmosphere doesn't matter. Large portions. After reading reviews I got the chicken parm sandwich and it lived up to the hype.

Great hole in the wall sandwich shop. I got the Parma sandwich as a recommendation from my partner, who insisted we try it after he had it catered to a meeting, and he was right—it was delicious! Prosciutto was tender, tomatoes were flavorful, and the mozzarella was the perfect texture. The staff was friendly and smiled at us as she prepared the sandwiches, which is always an added bonus.

Not sure why this place gets such high reviews. Is it bad, no. But it's not that great. The meatball sub has no flavor. The chicken parm doesn't either. The steak and cheese was the worst one I've ever had. And the cookies are rock hard. Tried this place a few times on lunch break and have been disappointed each time. Won't be going back, unfortunately.

This place is a hidden treasure. I think they bake their own breads. Fresh sandwiches made with quality Italian cold cuts. Perfect balance of bread to items on sandwich. We have been twice and will look for a reason to be in Waltham to go again.

Ordered Doms Veal cutlet parm $18 Today drove to Dominics in Waltham only because of all the reviews that I’ve read. Very seldom care to give my opinion/review and so I won’t bother to describe why my sandwich was so horrible today. This wasn’t a mistake or fluke it’s what they serve as Italian Veal parm. I’m sorry to say I would never order purchase or eat from there again. But the Service was nice. - to reply to the owners response of my review - Guess he tried to spin the truth saying I don’t know good Italian food. With that I’ll just laugh - Now you asked what was wrong with my order - first of all It tasted very old nothing tasted fresh and clean. One bite and It went directly in the trash - can’t tell you why but I imagine what your placing the food in before it served or not cleaned properly. Everything tasted as if it was used with a dirty rag …Sorry not Good Italian food at all. You asked? I tried to spare you.
They didn’t even update their hours I drive all the way here from far away !!! Not cool

On Sunday, 04/28/2024, we held a party for 30 people and were honored to have it catered by Domenics Restaurant in Waltham MA. Most of our guests are from Italy or of Italian descent (1st generation) and know good Italian food. In fact, we rarely order any food outside our circle. If you’re Italian, you know what I mean! Well, this food was described by everyone as excellent. Some of our menu items included gnocchi, stuffed shells, chicken parmigiana, chicken Marsala (w/o pasta), eggplant parmigiana and meatballs. All were cooked to perfection. Also, included as guests were two friends visiting from Italy and they too raved about the quality of the food. They said they felt like they were eating in Italy.Now, let me tell you about the dessert. We ordered 2 trays of Tiramisu and a ricotta pie. The entire 2 trays and 1/2 the pie were devoured with excellent reviews from all our guests. The desserts were from Enzina bakery (which is part of the Domenic’s Restaurant catering menu).John, from start to finish you were amazing and always available to answer our questions and provide your seasoned insight. I would give you and your team 10 stars; but, unfortunately are only allowed 5.Thank you for helping to make our party memorable for all attendees. You will now always be a part of our extended family as we cannot have another large party without Domenic’s great food.

I needed to add: the owner responded and instead of acting like a big boy, he said I ate wonder bread sandwiches and needed to travel more. For the record, I'm not even from here. I'm been to every major city in the world. He said his staff were chatting and laughing because they had trainees. I guess the lesson for today was how to provide terrible customer service. No wonder this place sucks: it starts at the top!! Check his other bad reviews. Never an apology,never we'll try harder, just all rude. DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP. YOU JUST ENCOURAGE BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. TO THE OWNER, GROW UP AND TRY ANOTER LINE OF WORK.Nothing great or special about this place. For a ham and Swiss sandwich is was $15! That's with nothing extra. When we walked in, 3 staff members just standing around chatting with each other. No welcome. No "we'll be right with you". Just completely being ignored. Eventually, they took our order. The one bright spot and the only reason I gave the place 3 stars instead of 2, was the lady who made my sandwich, was very nice and polite, smiled, said thank you. A strange concept forg I then by most places these days and by her co-workers called CUSTOMER SERVICE!! FYI, the sandwich was not all that great. The bread was on the stale side and they certainly did not go overboard on the meat and cheese.

Ordered a meatball sub.. extremely lack lusta at first glance. 2 total meatballs just split in half with a single slice of cheese for an overwhelming slice of ciabatta bread in comparison. Now time for the flavor. My meatballs tasted fishy... there was hardly any sauce. I thought let me power through the first two bites... to almost break a tooth on a piece of bone in my meatball... at this point 2 bites in it went straight to the trash. Never again.
